What if any difference does a live event with 500 (for example) connected users have on server performance vs 500 VOD connections?

Also, given a server which meets or exceeds the Adobe recommendations for FMS3, (ram is doubled and processors are more powerful) what is the safe number of streaming connections?

    The Flash media server 3 white paper has statistics about server performance.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/pdfs/FlashMediaServer3_WhitePaper_ue.pdf

    It also shows that FMS3 performs relatively better for VOD connections.

    My guess is that FMS will perform better with more/better CPU as long as your gigabit network card is not yet choked.
